  Initially, Jimmydance studied ancient greek drama with the help and guidance of his teachers. For over 16 years he studied in many dance schools learning latin, standard, freestyle, oriental, jazz, greek folk and greek traditional dance styles.

He has taken many lessons in classical ballet and modern dance (vaganova method), and has learnt techniques in limon, ballet, release, improvisation, graham, and flamenco. In addition, he has undertaken lessons in dance drama seminars and contact improvisation.

Jimmydance is a proud and accomplished student of Diana Rhea (the first sword dancer in Greece), and the lessons he learnt there led him to find work at many nightclubs and arabian-turkish restaurants, private parties, social events, children’s theatre, drag shows, and most impressively in movies and TV shows.

In 2005 Jimmydance registered his study title “The Technique of Male Oriental Dancing” at the National Dance Council of Greece. Furthermore, he has taken part in cultural festivals in Greece, and more impressively choreographed and performed in the ancient comedy piece “birds” by Aristophanes.

In 2007 he came second place in the 2nd Hellenic East Dances Competition, which was organised by the Oriental Dance Greek Contest. There he performed a Tahteb choreography piece (Reda style) - choreographed by Maria Aya. 

In 2010 he was a judge at the European festival “Athens Dancesport Open” contest and judged in the categories of oriental and greek dancing. Furthermore, in 2010 he introduced oriental dance training workshops in Turkey, which initiated the collaboration with the dance studio“beden atölyesi”, in Istanbul.
